| Publisher Description: Acute psychotic disorders with a short duration and a generally good prognosis have long intrigued psychiatrists. Although they are included in internationally accepted diagnostic systems, our understanding of these disorders remains at a minimal level. This book is the first comprehensive overview of their clinical features, biology, course and long-term effects. The authors also address their nosological status and impact on our understanding of the continuum of psychotic and affective disorders. |
